Some help needed on new clues to ancestry ; Does Family Crest allow you to access 1841 Scotland Census?
Q. On this link, the page I'm looking for help on is the third link (1880 United States Federal Census Record). It says he was born in ''about 1873'', which sounds right, because on the 1930 Census, it says my grandfather (Thomas Madigan's) father was 57 years old. It says his father's name was Patrick. Does it say who his mother was? I know it says John Madigan was born in the state of New York, but does it say where specifically? Don't worry about the 4th link. I already have the information from the second link on this link. If you'd like, you could check this page, to see if there's any leads. On the 1st link, this may show where he was born. The year of death is probably off though. The 1910 Census, taken in April 15 1910, recorded… [cont.]

A. Did you know that you can access a transcript of the 1880 census for free at www.familysearch.org? Have a look :) I'll see if I can find anything else useful. *** Edit I don't think that 1880 family with father Patrick is right. If the 1910 census is right John should be married by 1900 but I found John (whose father is Patrick) still living at home in 1900. John P Madigan Home in 1900: Brooklyn Ward 13, Kings, New York Age: 24 Birth Date: Jan 1876 Birthplace: New York Race: White Ethnicity: American Gender: Male Relationship to head-of-house: Son Father's Birthplace: Ireland Mother's Name: Mary Mother's Birthplace: Ireland Marital Status: Single Mary Madigan 50 Mary F Madigan 28 Terence F Madigan 24 John P Madigan 24 (Patrick had… [cont.]

Do you think this is my paternal grandmother's mother?
Q. (Paternal Great-Grandmother?) (Paternal Great-Great Grand-father?) I'm trying to find out if this is my paternal grandmother's mother. Her name is Mary De Santis (Or it may be written as DeSantis). Her middle name was Rose. I'm unsure of when she was born, but I know she died on Nov 29, 1981, in Brooklyn, NY. I believe she was in her 70's at her time of death. I've asked my grandmother, but she doesn't remember where she was born. She knows she was born in the United States though. My great-grandmother's father's name was Augustino De Santis, who was born in Italy. My grandmother who was born on Sept 22, 1939 in Brooklyn, NY. My great-grandmother's husband was an Italian immigrant, named Rocco Lozito. They had three daughters… [cont.]

another Exponential growth and decay question. Please help me!!?
Q. I don't really know what to do with this. I tried doing the slope of the 2 years given but I don't think that's right. The table gives the population of the United States, in millions, for the years 1900-2000. YearPopulation 190076 191092 1920106 1930123 1940131 1950150 1960179 1970203 1980227 1990250 2000275 (a) Use the exponential model and the census figures for 1900 and 1910 to predict the population in 2000. P(2000) = million (b) Use the exponential model and the census figures for 1980 and 1990 to predict the population in 2000. P(2000) = million

A. a) P(1910) = 76 e^10k = 92 k = ln (92/76)/10 So P(2000) = 76 e^100 ln (92/76)/10 = 513.5 b) P(1990) = 227 e^10k = 250 k = ln (250/227)/10 So P(2000) = 227 e^20 ln (250/227)/10 = 275.3
